U.S. Federal Census Records 
Enumeration Districts
U.S. Federal Census records are divided into groups by state,
then county, and in many cases by townships and enumeration
districts as well. Enumeration districts are subdivisions used by
census takers and other governmental representatives to further
break down the geography of a given area beyond the county and/or
township level. Browsing the census records by enumeration
district allows a researcher to see their ancestor in context of
their closest neighbors. You may learn additional information
about your ancestor by observing their neighbors over a
succession of several years.
